Mahmoud Abbas, the 90-year-old president of the Palestinian Authority who has held power since his 2005 election without subsequent presidential votes, continues to shape succession dynamics through institutional maneuvers. In October 2025 he issued a constitutional declaration designating PLO Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh as interim leader for up to 90 days should a vacancy arise, pending new elections. The Fatah movement’s first general conference in nearly a decade, held in mid-May 2026, reaffirmed Abbas as party chairman while electing his businessman son Yasser Abbas to the Central Committee, intensifying speculation over dynastic influence amid long-standing questions about leadership renewal. These steps occur against a backdrop of low public support for the Palestinian Authority, stalled elections, and competing figures within Fatah, factors that traders weigh when assessing the timeline for any leadership transition.
